Joshua Schwimmer, MD

I’ve been going to Dr. Schwimmer for about 15 yrs now. He is wonderful. He is knowledgeable about the kidneys and puts me at ease whenever I stress about how my kidneys are functioning. He’s easy to talk to and always calls me back right away if I have any concerns. He’s got all my history on his lap top and it’s comforting to know he cares so much. A doctor that really listens and cares! Amazing!

Spends more time typing on his laptop then he does actually examining you. Also does not return emails or phone calls which is rude and unprofessional.

Great doctor. Very knowledgeable, very approachable.

I made an appointment with Dr. Schwimmer after getting blood work back that suggested I may have a problem with my kidneys (don’t worry, false alarm!).
Dr. Schwimmer is not only a Nephrologist but also a regular doctor. If I didn’t already have a guy that I liked then I would definitely go to him for normal doctor stuff (um, which for me is like a once a year flu shot, but still). I’ve never met anyone who loved kidneys more than this guy. Seriously, he’s like one of those doctors who loves his job. He’s a super smart guy, very thorough, will answer any question, and overall, I just like him.
Most importantly, he Tweets (yes, cool, right?), you can make appointments online with Z*cDoc, and he will respond to emails. That alone makes me want to come back.
Notes: He’s on time for appointments, and his office is nice and conveniently located.
